India draws test series against England after winning at the Oval by six runs

By Canadian Press on August 4, 2025.

LONDON (AP) — India won the fifth test from England by just six runs at the Oval after taking the last four wickets in a thrilling hour on Monday.

India drew the series 2-2.

England began a drizzly morning needing 35 runs to win to reach the target of 374, but Mohammed Siraj took three wickets to finish with five for the innings, and Prasidh Krishna took the other.

England allrounder Chris Woakes came out to bat one-handed with a dislocated left shoulder but he was protected from facing a ball by Gus Atkinson, who was the last man out with England short on 367.
